How to Connect Your Coding Agent and IDE to Databricks Compute | Databricks SSH Tunnel Demo

Connect your local IDE or terminal coding agent to your Databricks workspace with an SSH tunnel — write code in VS Code, Cursor, or an agent like Claude Code, and run it on Databricks compute. This demo walks through connecting with the Databricks CLI and the Databricks extension, so your coding agents get full context of your workspace files. No more switching back and forth or syncing files by hand: your local editor stays in sync with your workspace automatically. You'll also see the advanced options — picking default serverless or GPU compute, connecting to an existing cluster, tracking costs with a usage policy ID, and setting up a base environment so you don't reinstall dependencies every session.
